    2.Script all the logins using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133 in SQL 7 or SQL 2000

    3.Script all the jobs in SQL 7 or SQL 2000 using the below link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa177024(SQL.80).aspx

    4.Install SQL Server 2005

    5.Detach all the user databases in SQL 7 or SQL 2000 and copy the files

    6.Attach all the user databases in SQL 2005

    7.Run the script taken in Step 2 to recreate the logins

    8.Run the script taken in Step 3 to recreate the jobs
